is all about this week - the physical copies of our favourite music. I'm going with this homemade compilation that was my introduction to the music of Chris Knox, which was sent to me by someone I met on Usenet back when I was in university. While I don't listen to the actual tape anymore, and I own all the albums that these songs come from, I do have this set up as a playlist and listen to it from time to time.

The track listing of a homemade compilation on a cassette insert.

Good post #1 - new fancy herbs, including the intriguing cola plant.

@emmaaum I hope it gets to you soon. I might finish work a bit early today to I can get mine planted.

@emmaaum I'm not sure I should enable whatever plans they have...

@emmaaum One of my plants had got knocked over too. I liked the cardboard inserts though - the other place I buy from uses plastic pot holders, and I now have a stash of them. Not quite sure what to do with them to be honest.

Newydd gael fy e-lyfr cyntaf o Lyfrgell Ceredigion, ac roedd yn broses hynod o hawdd. Mae’n well ‘da fi ddarllen llyfrau go iawn fel rheol, ond doedd dim copi caled o’r hwn gyda nhw, felly es i am y fersiwn digidol.

Dim angen ap arbennig, darllen yn y porwr. Perffaith.

I could be wrong, but I think there's a minion in the road. Everyone else can see it, right? Right?!

The minion has turned to face the left of the camera. What is it looking at? Who knows. Is it even real? What is real? Am I real?

@TheBreadmonkey You must be imagining things - it's just a road and some cars and some traffic lights. There's nothing else there.

Tune of the day

I don't really watch Eurovision, but I do read people's comments about it and watch some of the videos just to see what people are talking about. At some point I watched Croatia's entry and it really reminded me of something, but couldn't figure out what. Eventually I figured out that it was this - some Sami techno-joiking, from a group that I saw at a festival some years ago.

@emmaaum It was 2001 when I saw him - I won a trip to go to three festivals in Canada, and he was at the first one.

The schizophrenic neighbour's latest set of patterns is keeping me on edge.
Not great given other concerns.

@emmaaum Oh shit, that doesn't sound good.

Good morning Mastodon

@eclectech I thought the "Attack of the 50ft Woman and the 20ft Corgi" (https://www.google.com/search?q=attack+of+the+50ft+corgi&oq=attack+of+the+50ft+corgi&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8) couldn't be improved on, but it seems I was wrong.

@eclectech @metaning Hello! Yes, there is a pattern available, from either https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/emotional-support-chickentm or https://theknittingtreela.com/collections/patterns/products/the-chicken-kit

It's kind of dangerous that with just a few button clicks I can have half a dozen new herb plants (4 fancy mints, 1 winter savory and a cola plant) coming my way.

sheepnik,
@sheepnik@toot.wales avatar

And yes, a cola plant is a real thing.

I'm now Great-Auntie Sheepnik, as of this morning!

ETA - it's a boy, and a very respectable 7lb 9oz. I better get back to knitting the cardigan and elephant.

@emmaaum Thanks! (And I did not promise anything like a chicken onesie, and you know it!)

Apparently I have nothing much to say today, so here's something I've been working on. I bet you can't guess what it is.

@purplepadma Consider yourself on the list then 🐓

sheepnik,
@sheepnik@toot.wales avatar

@purplepadma I've got some other bits that I need to finish off, but I will try to get one done for you before I go on holiday. Purples and teals are your favourite colours, yes?

sheepnik,
@sheepnik@toot.wales avatar

@purplepadma Excellent!
